Hello, i have a prebuilt acer predator PC that i am trying to change the colours of, the RGB inside will not change as it is not detected by openrgb, i have found a possible solution to this with Linuwu-sense, unfortunately, i always get this error when trying to install via copy and pasting the “clone and build the module” part
cd linuwu-sense-cli make install fatal: destination path 'linuwu-sense-cli' already exists and is not an empty directory. make -C /lib/modules/6.17.3-zen2-1-zen/build M=/home/victor/linuwu-sense-cli modules make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/6.17.3-zen2-1-zen/build' make[2]: Entering directory '/home/victor/linuwu-sense-cli' make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/victor/linuwu-sense-cli' make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/6.17.3-zen2-1-zen/build' [sudo] password for victor: sudo install -d /lib/modules/6.17.3-zen2-1-zen/kernel/drivers/platform/x86 sudo install -m 644 src/linuwu_sense.ko /lib/modules/6.17.3-zen2-1-zen/kernel/drivers/platform/x86 sudo depmod -a sudo modprobe linuwu_sense modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'linuwu_sense': No such device make: *** [Makefile:45: install] Error 1
not sure what error 1 means here, also i have tried to install the appimage file and nothing is working. GitHub - 0x7375646F/Linuwu-Sense: Linux kernel module to unleash Turbo mode, RGB magic, and custom fan control on Acer Predator & Nitro laptops! 🚀🎨❄️
